    I cut the pepper amounts in half and left out the chilies- it was still HOT!!! Good, but hot :) Next time, I will reduce it even more and use chicken!! Great recipe :) - 10/9/08

    I ended up throwing most of the pot away as it way very spicy , and I even used way less peppers/cilies. I ate one serving but had to eat bread with it to fight the burn! - 9/26/08

    Delicious. I agree that it's a bit too spicy though. I would recommend cutting back on the green chillies and the red and black pepper, at least until you try it. Serving size turns out to be about 1-1/2 cups! Thanks! - 9/13/08

    Loved it! I noticed that you had nonfat evaporated milk listed as an ingredient under the nutritional calculations, but not on the main page (above). Anyways, I added the milk and it was soooooooo YUMMY! I also added a bit of minced garlic too. Thanks for the great recipe! :) - 9/22/08

    Has anyone REALLY tried this?? Common sense told me the TBSP of peppers should be TEASPOONS!!! I USED TEASPOONS AND IT WAS STILL HOT!!I also added garlic to the onion mix. I would make w/LESS fresh ground black (like 1 -2 tsp) and 1/2 tsp RED pepper, and we like it hot, & less salt, + thyme sprig - 9/17/08

    A little spicy hot, I would recomend cutting back on the green chiles and some of the crushed red pepper. Very taste and a very good portion size too! Thanks. - 9/13/08

    i really like this - however, WHEN i make it again (and i will) i am going to puree the potato/broth mixture before adding the other ingredients to make it thicker. As is, i ended up only using about 2/3 of the evaporated milk. - 10/8/08

    Way too spicy for my family. I will make it again, but with less spice, and maybe add evaporated milk as suggested by others. My 5yr old was so excited until his mouth was on fire. - 9/28/08

    I think this recipe has potential, but it is way too spicy as others have said. I, too, cut down both the black and red pepper before I even tasted it and it was still way too much. I may make it again, but add the pepper in small increments. - 9/24/08

    A little spicy for my hubby, he had to put some crushed up saltines. I cut the black pepper down to just 1 tablespoon. My hubby and I will make it again but we will cut the crushed red pepper down. I will admit that a good thing about spicy food is that it takes you a really long time to eat it! - 9/22/08

    Made this for dinner last night. I did not use the green chilis, and cut the red pepper down to 1 tablesppon and it was still TOO HOT for a chowder. Will definately make it again though, with maybe only a half a tablespoon of red pepper, as the rest of the chowder was very good. - 9/22/08

    The soup is really good and I would recommend it to anyone. Next, however, I'm only using one TBSP of crushed red pepper. 3 TBSP is definitely too much. - 9/17/08

    In place of the canned peppers I used two fresh peppers, one yellow, one green from my garden. I also sprinkled in some Old Bay seasoning. This was so delicious and easy! Go lighter on the crushed red pepper flakes if you want it to taste milder. - 9/13/08

    This soup was unbelievable! The crushed pepper could probably be optional for my taste but I served it to close friends who asked for the recipe. Will definately make this again! - 9/8/08

    I didn't add 3 TBSP of Black pepper, maybe one. I also didn't have the green chili peppers, but my son doesn't like super spicy food. I did have Jalapeno peppers! I diced them up and left out, and whoever wanted to add them could. I can see making this again, but maybe 1 cup of corn. Very Good! - 2/7/19

    I followed the recipe and I have to say, I waisted my time and money!! It was WAY TOO SPICY! I suggest no red pepper flakes and 1/3 of the black pepper recommended. My husband, who LOVES spicy foods, wouldn't even eat it. I had to throw it out! - 9/12/13

    WOW... This is amazing!!! I LOVE spicy food & this really hit the spot. By far one of my new favorite things to make. All I changed was I added yams instrad of white potatoes & put a lil less black pepper. Awesome recipe! - 12/21/10

    Delicious!I added pre cut frozen miripoix, and it was very good! (Miripoix- the basic base of many soups, celery, onion, carrots) No black pepper! It's a little spicy so you may need to adjust the amount of green chiles, but we're from texas, so it was not too much to handle. - 10/19/10

    Cut the spice down to 1 T of black pepper and 1 T of red pepper, and it's still too hot to eat. I'll make it again, but probably leaving nearly all the pepper out. - 1/26/10

    I really loved this recipe! I am such a fan of Corn chowder and love shrimp too! My husband likes a kick so I figured he'd like this one. (He did) I used only 1/2 can of chili's, no red pepper, and added 1/4 c of 1/2 and 1/2 to add a bit of cream. (He added more chili's and the red pepper) - 1/13/10

    a hearty chowder. Not a cream based chowder, which is good. A little spicy. I cut the black pepper down to less than a tsp; substituted 1 tbsp chili powder for the cracked red peper. Next time I make this, and there will be a next time, I'll use a tsp of chili powder and keep the green chilis. - 3/6/09

    This looks good. Instead of chili peppers, I am gonna make it with green, red & yellow bell peppers. I may add some canned milk, also. I love spicy, but after reading all the comments... I think 1/2 tbsp of red pepper flakes, but maybe a dash of hot sauce.

    It was pretty good however not thick like a chowder should be. I just read the previous comment about the milk I did not see that so maybe thats why mine wasn't thick? (I think it would also be great with sausage.) - 9/22/08

    looks great. BUT, is there any sub for the potatoes? just do not like soups with potatoes in it. Think sweet potatoes or squash would work as well? - 9/11/08
